These debian packages will compile as-is on later versions of ubuntu, all you will need to do is change the name of the target distro in debian/changelog from unstable to "raring", "quantic" or whatever. Your problem is going to be the older versions, some gambas3 subpackages [gb.jit, gb.media, possibly a couple of others] just won't compile as the relevant libraries are too old. You will need to produce versions of gambas3 that don't have those subpackages. [as an aside, this is why I've never bothered producing a version for debian stable, lots of stuff won't compile and so the reality is most debian people who want to run an up-to-date gambas will need to upgrade their whole system anyway] Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Want fast and easy access to all the code in your enterprise?
